The move will also buy time while engineers devise a more nearly permanent solution to keep the Outer Banks highway above the stormy Atlantic.國家交通運輸部正準備為北卡羅來納州12在豌豆島上搭建一個臨時的混凝土橋以取代臨時的鋼橋架設。這一舉措也為工程師們設計出一個近乎永久解決大西洋風暴對外灘島危害的方案爭取了時間。Its one of a string of bridge projects in various stages of development along N.C. 12 in Dare County, which is increasingly vulnerable to rough weather and rising seas.它是一連串的用于不同發(fā)展階段的北卡羅來納州12的橋梁工程之一，且其對于惡劣天氣和不斷上升的海平面來說極為脆弱。With an apparent low bid of $14.2 million, T.A.

But that project was scrapped as part of a deal with conservation groups whose lawsuits had blocked a more urgent DOT project: an overdue replacement for the deteriorating Bonner Bridge across Oregon Inlet.DOT去年已經(jīng)開始在此地建造一條耗資5900萬美元的永久性橋梁，計劃將北卡羅來納州12路沿其當前軌道途經(jīng)豌豆島國家野生動物保護區(qū)的區(qū)域提高兩英里。但該計劃作為與通過訴訟使其更為緊要的項目受阻的團體的協(xié)議的一部分條件，遭到了廢棄，逾期更換為俄勒岡州入口惡化的邦納大橋。The fates of several bridges were decided in a legal settlement announced in June:這幾座橋的命運在六月宣布的法律判定中被確定： To replace a 660-foot steel truss bridge built quickly after Hurricane Irene opened a new inlet on Pea Island in 2011, DOT will build the new temporary concrete structure while it pursues the environmentalists preferred solution: Moving N.C. 12 off the island, curving out over Pamlico Sound. A study of this option will be completed in early 2017.，在颶風艾琳在2011年于豌豆島打開一個新的入口后，為替換660 英尺的鋼桁梁橋，DOT將會建造一個全新的臨時混凝土橋，且其追求環(huán)保至上的解決方案：將北卡羅來納州12撤離島嶼，繞過帕姆利科灣。研究顯示這項工程將于2017年早期完工。 Farther south, DOT will proceed with its plan to spend an estimated $190 million for a 2.5-mile bridge that will take the highway over the sound in a “jug handle” loop, bypassing a fragile stretch at the Hatteras Island village of Rodanthe. 在更遠的南方，DOT將著手于一條耗資一億就千萬美元2.5英里長的橋，它會將使高速路以壺把手狀的環(huán)形臨于海峽之上，并繞過Rodanthe的哈特島村?！癢e still dont have a timetable for when it will go to construction,” DOT spokeswoman Jennifer Heiss said.我們?nèi)耘f沒有一個精確的時間表來確定她什么時候能夠完成建設。DOT女發(fā)言人Jennifer Heiss說。Eventually, if Pamlico Sound also is approved for the path around the Pea Island inlet, these two bridges might be combined to form a single seven-mile structure over water.最終，如果帕姆利科灣同樣被批準為豌豆島入口附近的路徑，這兩座橋可能被連結(jié)起來形成一個單一的七英里長的水上結(jié)構。 Construction could start next spring on the new 2.7-mile Oregon Inlet bridge, which links Pea and Hatteras islands to the mainland. The original contract was awarded for $216 million in 2011, before lawsuits stopped it.
